WHOA... What kind of drilling would you put on this ball?

Scroll down and look at the picture where it shows the CG way left of the PIN-MB line!

How would you drill this ball?

Put the pin up and a little to the outside of the Ring finger, CG around the grip center.  

You might have to get a little creative with the ball, but it's not impossible to drill.

Wow.  That ball can really ONLY be drilled for a righty, and even then, only if you want the mb (and/or pin) out quite a bit from the midline.  Many normal layouts for right handers, using that ball, would probably put the cg a good bit negative.

Get that ball!!!!  The Pro Shop I work for purchased a bunch of pro-pins and pro-cg's like that ball.  i of course got one and the ball hooks more than you can make a normal cell hook.  danH is right with the way to drill it.  the ball will be very strong and you might even have to polish it.

Or you put the pin above the ring, CG on/near the PAP, weighthole to make it legal, MB ends up next to the thumb (positive side) for a lefty.  If you have a driller worth his salt, it doesn't matter if you are righty or lefty, you can drill the ball.

That's not really a pro-pin ball.  Most of the Cell equipment I've purchased and had drilled was shipped this way.  Even the drilling sheet details out the RG kicked right off of the line of the pin and CG

That cg might be 4 inches out if you do that, I'm not saying it cant be done, but I sure as he!! would never drill that ball for a lefty.  Even with that low-ish top weight, you might not be able to drill a weight hole big enough.

Not pro pin, but DEFINITELY pro cg.

Ya, thats the most I have seen with a cg being out of line in a mas bias ball. I went to a pro shop that I normally don't go to and they had a cell like that, but you could put the pin @ 4 1/2 inches from pap at 45 degrees above the ring finger and the mas bias @ 3 inches from the pap? I have a passion like this or similar and it hooks more in oil then it does on a dryer shot.

Not impossible drill for a righty. Not too many options that I see, although I am no drilling guru by any means. I would go with a strong stacked layout like this, and no WH.

--------P
0  0

 CG

  0
--------MB

I think thats a viable option as well for lefties.

None, Unless you're right handed and want the MB on or past the VAL. Not terrible for a high speed, less than avg rev bowler.

There are LOTS of other Cells available with much more versatile specs.

I received a mirrored replica of this ball a few weeks ago.  I'm a right-handed player and wound up with a drilling of 6.25" x 70 degrees.  The pin is between the middle finger and my track.  The Cg is about 2.75" right of the grip centerline about an inch and a half above the midline.  If I tear the cover off of the ball it still moves as much as if I come up the back of the ball.  The very definition of "control drilling" for this mere mortal.  If I have the chance to drill up another one(Roger-hint, hint), I'll look for a little stronger drilling...lol!
